Over here in Germany, other than the usual written tests, driving on most kinds of roads, etc. you even have to have medical training before you can get your license. Seriously, you should read up on just how terrible US driving tests are when compared to other countries.
Because people are shitty drivers. If traffic flows are being constantly messed up by poor acceleration, distance keeping, and so on, it makes sense to ban manual cars from the common roads. There are adverse effects from driving which everyone has to suffer which do not include accidents.
That absolutely matters not one iota. It's common fucking sense, and in no way a mystery. The "little things" we rely on to know when a car is slowing down are called "brake lights", and the Google cars use them. If some muppet can't even see the car in front has stopped, I doubt the driver of said car twitching their left eye a bit is going to help at all.
You are puking nonsense. Seriously. The Google car could do nothing that wouldn't also endanger other road users. Whether such a bizarre obligation exists or not doesn't change who was in the right and who was not.
This is one instance where the market can really help. Insurance for these autonomous cars will be lower than manual cars, as they are in fewer accidents. That will encourage their uptake. Of course there will be a time where manual driving will be outlawed, and if you really like driving so much then, take it to the race track and don't let your hobby endanger people who are merely trying to live their lives.
Microsoft probably listened to the hoards of people screaming for automatic updates after great swathes of unprotected computers around the world get infected by botnets and wreak havoc upon the rest of us.
Home users are not administrators. They don't understand the importance of updates, and nor should they. Microsoft seems to be doing the right thing here - accepting that their users are not computer experts, and that there will be times updates will need to be pushed to the Windows machines as quickly as possible.
Without wishing to sound rude, it seems you are more out of touch than Microsoft, as the lack of mandatory, automatic updates for home users has been complained about ad nauseam since Windows Update first hit the scene.
The problem is you frequently pull stuff out of your ass to defend you believing in God, how Snowden killed a bunch of people, and so forth. Because of that, no one can possibly take you seriously. You are so eager to shit on the face of reality in order to bolster your personal beliefs. You are the very picture of an irrational person.
The best way to stop someone who shows signs of danger to themselves or others is definitely allowing a doctor to restrain them for 4 hours. There is nothing random about it - the doctor knows the state the patient is in, and is already trusted to be able to make that distinction accurately. Giving them a 4 hour grace period in which to contact the authorities without a distressed person wandering the streets is a good thing, surely.
The people who need to be locked up for 4 hours aren't thinking rationally, hence them needing to be locked up for 4 hours. I doubt they'll sit down with pen and paper and figure out the most logical choice of action to take. Have you ever been to a psychiatric institution?
The fire retardant coating of the steel was mainly knocked off at the impact point by the fully-fuelled jet plane smacking it at hundreds of miles an hour, meaning it wasn't able to retard the fire. It severing the sprinkler lines too didn't help, as that meant the fires were burning in an incredibly-well-ventilated office (containing lots of combustible things), unhindered.
What happens if you mix it with all the contents of the towers (office furniture, heaps of paper, carpets, electrical equipment), and put it in a massive stream of fresh oxygen (the wind)? I guess it'll be a bit more than 800C. Just a quick question: If you started the house fire with jet fuel, would it burn at 800C or 1000C?
Your guess is worthless, as it is based on no evidence. What happened to WT7 is well understood and supported by evidence, so first you have to show how that is nonsense. No one has managed to do that yet without resorting to guesses and hunches (similar to those you just made).
When those architects and engineers can muster up a peer-reviewed paper which counters the existing explanations, they can piss up a rope. Calling yourself "Architects & engineers" doesn't make you a structural engineer.
I highlight my own ignorance? So you are suggesting the planes didn't exist?? Jesus Christ you need some help.
That is not scientific, though, as IQ has vanishingly little to do with intelligence. You seem to think the only difference between China and Africa is that one is full of Chinese people and the other is full of black people. The fact the differences between the two extend far, far beyond than that single difference seems lost on you. You are being intellectually lazy, and seem to revel in it. Pathetic.
They are independent lifeforms, though, as they are not connected to the parent. Get it? It's really simple. The fact you have to feign ignorance (or really be that dumb) speaks volumes about the logical coherence of your argument.

We know because the video shows that the Google car was stationary, and the trailing car simply kept on driving in to it.

A shitty car does not exonerate poor driving.

Abject conjecture.

We are discussing science. Please keep your superstitions out of this.
And then you get sued for malpractice, as nothing he has said or done can lead you to assume that, and you lose your license.

They can only be detained by the police, and the police are fucking terrible at dealing with the mentally distraught. So you assume wrong.

And how long does getting a warrant take? I guess you're fine with deranged people wandering around being a danger to themselves and others... Weird.

He's pretending one thing doesn't exist, or is perfectly acceptable, because something else exists.
We already have billions of devices which will never be updated, so I fail to see why an attack on the Internet of Things is at all pertinent.

Well, as your guess is worth absolutely nothing, thanks for sharing!
In the US she would have been denied surgery by her insurance companies, so there is that.
